好吧7门作业对于中国大学生来说根本算不了什么-w-
The title is not a reference to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. No, it’s not! Uh-uh! Nope!

So for some slackitude reasons, I had 6 assignments piled up, all due on the week of Feburary 1st or the Monday immediately after. (Actually 7, as I forgot to ask for one professor’s web site.) Since there is an anime con in the weekend, my plan was to complete everything during the weekdays, for there won’t be any time to do them during the weekend, and undone homework would be a really bad thing to have at a con.

During the week, I handed in a web client and suh-vuh, a demo of a ball bouncing in a dish, a token ring simulator (kinda) and an artificial stupidity. 2 Java classes, one C++ project, one C file, and the odd one Python spaghetti (glad that semicolon does nothing in Python), one missed class (just… one… more… compile…), and everything’s finally done… on Saturday lunchtime. The panels I wanted to go are all finished. Oh well, better slow than missed bugs, I suppose.

This is the second time attending GAnime, so for some slackitude reasons, I didn’t register beforehand, and paid admission on the spot instead. Because didn’t had furries together like last time, and my camera also disappeared, it was relatively less interesting.

The location has been renovated, it feels very modern this year (post-modern? post-post-modern?); but for some reason the windows to the atrium have been covered with drawings by children. Frankly, not harmonious. Of course, between the busy conference center up here and the empty shopping center down there, it is a big contrast. But I still feel it makes the place friendlier if you can see other attendees (especially in the case of anime con, cosplayers) eating.

The games room were cleaned out very early on Sunday, save record for Kingdom Hearts II indicates playtime of 6 hours. Maybe I should have gone to panels instead. Where was manga library last year, was a screening room this year, the only English one.

Conclusion: No matter if it’s an anime con or a furry con, going alone is not very interesting.
